three hot, rainy and cool. I like the cool season from November to
February. Its our winter. Its quite hot in the daytime and its cold at night.
In February we have lots of tropical flowers red, orange and pink. So every
year we have a beautiful Flower Festival. We sing and dance. I love it.

other three months are good for skiing. It isnt true! Here the winter months
are December to February but it is often cold in spring and autumn, too. Our

Exercise 2
Travelling
There are three big airports in London, out of theb residential area,
within one to two hours of the centre of the British capital. These are
Gatwick, Heathrow and Stansted. Heathrow, Londons main airport, handles
more international flights than any other airports in the world. Every 45
seconds a plane takes off or lands here, and all the four terminals are
extremely busy.
The airport building itself now resembles a real city whose streets are
the long corridors leading to the gates, with fashionable shops, restaurants
and waiting areas.
Gatwick, a bit farther from the centre of London, handles both
national and international flights. In the 1980s another airport was built to
relieve the congestion of Heathrow: Stansted.
